Tyrants are all about control and power. Dictators in the political realm, for example, demand to control not only what you say, but what you think. You don’t have the right to hold an opinion that differs from theirs. If you do and the tyrant finds out, expect a vicious attack.

I have written on this subject before but it is a topic which continues to amaze me. Think of it. What kind of person believes that they have the right to control your thoughts? Not only must you never SAY anything negative about them, you are not even allowed to THINK anything negative about them. The thing is incredible.

RASNs don’t ask you what your thoughts are, they TELL you what your thoughts are to be. You cannot have a real discussion with them, sharing a different point of view and talking about it. Nope. It’s not allowed. They rage and they belittle if you do.

A narcissist is exposed when they believe someone holds a different view on some subject than they. They can’t leave it alone. They must show you that you are a fool and that you had better get your thinking in line with theirs.

Of course there are subjects which we as Christians do not allow for differences. The deity of Jesus Christ for instance. No wiggle room there. Justification by faith alone in Christ alone is another truth we will not compromise on.

But generally these are not the kind of subjects the RASN will enforce with the spirit of tyranny. No, his raging strikes out over topics which to any reasonable person DO have wiggle room for differing opinions. What kind of vehicle is the best. How to perform a certain task. You are expected to conform your thoughts to his.

I have seen narcissists launch into a frenzy when they realized that I did not agree with them. One literally thrashed around on the couch in my office in a tantrum. Another slammed down his book, stormed across the room double time, and let me know he had to confront me for mentioning an opinion which differed from his.

This is evil. These kinds of people really believe that their opinion is the only one that is right and the only one that is to be tolerated. No one else dare even THINK differently than they. It is from the pit energized by the father of lies himself.
